Man Hacks Neighbour To Death Over Generator Fumes See Photo.

Read all through how this really happened... Pictured above is Bashorun Okanla, he was hacked to death by neighbour, Ibrahim Tijani, for daring to complain about fumes from his generator. 

 
The 29-year-old bricklayer, Tijani, from Oyo State and the deceased lived in an uncompleted building in the Okun Ajah, Ogombo area of Lagos State. Tijani was said to have turned on his generator around 11am, and the fumes escaped into the room of the 57-year-old carpenter. Okanla, who was married with kids, then complained about the fumes but Tijani refused to move the generator away and an argument ensued between them, leading into a fight.

A source stated,

"It was on February 8, 2015 around 11am. The suspect and the deceased were neighbours. They both lived in an uncompleted building, which I learnt was owned by a Nigerian based in the USA. 

"Tijani turned on his generator and the fumes escaped into the room of Okanla, who dashed out and asked him to take away the generator from the place, but he refused. That was how they began fighting and dragged themselves into the bush. The man then picked a sharp cutlass and cut the deceased in the hand and leg and ran away."

Realising what he has done, Tijani then ran to the Ogombo Police Station to evade an attack from angry residents. But they followed him there, and told the police what happened, and he was arrested.

Confessing his crime to the police, Tijani said:

"On Sunday, I turned on my generator and when Baba Ade (Okanla) asked me to turn it off, I refused. Then he used a stick to hit me and we started fighting.

"A neighbour came and separated us and asked me to sit down beside him. But Baba Ade still went and destroyed my generator. I became angry and went inside my house and picked my cutlass. I used it on him."
